Read the excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
When a crowd gathers outside Les's house, Steve
comments, "Let's not be a mob!" What does this show
about Steve?
As they suddenly start toward the house. In this brief
fraction of a moment they take the first step toward
performing a metamorphosis that changes people from a
group into a mob. They begin to head purposefully
across the street toward the house at the end. Steve
stands in front of them. For a moment their fear almost
turns their walk into a wild stampede but Steve's voice,
loud, incisive and commanding, makes them stop.
STEVE
Wait a minute... wait a minute! Let's not be a mob!
The people stop as a group, seem to pause for a
moment and then much more quietly and slowly start to
walk across the street.
O He has managed to remain much more calm and
rational than the rest of his neighbors.
O He has become the main instigator of the mob as
they rush toward Les Goodman's house.
O He has been taken over by emotions and lost his
ability to think sensibly.
O He thinks the aliens are attacking the neighborhood
and he must defend himself.

gilgamesh is an epic hero from birth, as he's brought to the world by the hand of several gods who shaped him with the goal of saving humanity. there's a passage from the text that reads "the glorious sun shamash bestowed upon him glory; adad the terrible god of storms bestowed upon him courage. the great gods perfected his magnificence beyond all others, terrible like the great wild bull". this is a great example that show some of the super-human qualities that the gods gave gilgamesh upon his birth.

as gilgamesh grows he has to face many challenges that put his heroism to task. the courage he displays along the way, prove that he's ready to live up to the godly qualities brought upon him. at one point he has to overcome a wild beast by the name of hubamba "whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death", as the text reads. the actions taken by gilgamesh, beating the beast with the use of his super-human force, examplify why he shoud be thought of as an epic hero.

hope this !

queen elizabeth's purpose in the passage is;

d. to persuade the troops that she is a capable commander

"i have the heart and stomach of a king. i myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder."

explanation: in literature, realism focuses on dialogue, characterization, everyday moments and events, the character's psychological development, actions, decisions, as well as believable settings

explanation:

b. the poet identifies with private people.

    in the stanza, dickinson states she doesn't wish to seek fame and recognition from the public eye. nor is she afraid of authority figures, and you can definitely tell she isn't hiding something. more as she identifies with private people, who are not known by the community
